Adorable! I love children's poems and the illustrations are a joy. Sadly poetry/rhyming books are the only ones I can't share with my girls, as they're impossible to translate and not lose their charm. We do have the A.A.Milne books though- maybe when they 're a little older and learning English we'll have a go...
ReplyDeleteAww, yes, translations are difficult things. I hope you can enjoy them together in the future! xxoo
DeleteGorgeous! What a treasure... yet another book to covet. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe happened upon it by accident today at a small antique store. Little Sis and I were just killing time while her sister was in theatre class. :o)
DeleteThe Swing! Yay! 1947!?! to think of the hands.
ReplyDeleteAny children's poetry book with "The Swing" makes me especially happy. :o)
DeleteOH MY GOSH!!!!!! this is pure beauty. heirloom! wow. this is just stunning! lucky lucky you. how did you come by this one, did you find it in a used book store or did you order it?
ReplyDeleteLittle Sis and I paid a visit to a small antique store today, killing time while Big Sis was in theatre class. I was excited to find this one, as I wasn't already familiar with it. The fact that it was in a nice plastic slipcover for protection and the price tag only read "$4.00" made it especially sweet. :o)
DeleteBeautiful!! Love Corinne Malvern - I need this book!
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely. Total happy surprise!
DeleteSo envious of you for having this book! And thanks for the link about the edition information... I had no idea!
ReplyDeleteThat link helped me identify my one LGB first edition. ;o) I'm not a stickler for such things. I collect books for the enjoyment of them. But it's kinda fun to know when you luck out!
